Jennifer Olson earned degrees in English and print
journalism from the University of New Mexico before setting out to find new
adventures as an editor at Women’s
Adventure magazine. After a few years of life in Boulder, Colorado, she moved to Silver City, New Mexico, but continues to work in the writing world as the editor of the Silver City Independent. Her work
has appeared in New Mexico Magazine,
in the "2010 New Mexico Vacation Guide,"VeloNews.com, and Backpacker magazine, but she
also served as Editor-In-Chief of her alma mater’s art and literary
publication, Conceptions Southwest. Playing with magnetic
poetry on her refrigerator helped Jennifer develop a philosophy by which she
still lives: “If you publish a cliché, go explore real inspiration."
